MALAYSIA and Japan are to jointly undertake some 20 projects under the Japan-Malaysia Cooperation Initiative for Environment and Energy to further advance cooperation between both countries in the two areas.

Of the total, 11 will be environment-based while the remaining nine are for energy conservation and renewable energy.

Under the Initiative, Japan will assist Malaysia in the drafting a master plan and a concrete action plan to promote a waste reduction policy. It will also support the establishment of a recycling system of waste and electronics in Malaysia. Japan is noted as an advanced nation for recycling system of waste and electronics recycle services with its Home Appliance Recycling Law.
